Used to be Real Madrid announced On being ready to attend the trial in the “Barcelona” case
Barça believes that such a position of Real Madrid could spoil the good relations between the clubs.
Let me remind you, earlier there was information about the investigation into the payments made by the Catalan club to Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira, the former vice-president of the referees technical committee of the Spanish Football Federation.
The prosecutor’s office in Ciudad Condal conducted an investigation and found that the Catalans paid a total of approximately 1.4 million euros to the company owned by Negreira. In 2016, the transfer amount was 532.000 €, in 2017 – 541.000 € and in 2018 – 318,000 €.
The former employee of the Federation and his son have already testified. Negreira stated that the money transferred to him was related to his work as a consultant and clarification of the rules and in no way helped Barcelona gain more appreciation from the referees. However, he failed to provide any evidence of consulting cooperation with the club.
